Philadelphia: Home of Binge-Drinking Entrepreneurialism
The Wall Street Journal has a lengthy story today about drinking-game entrepreneurialism that mentions Philadelphia-based company Bing Bong Inc., which is apparently becoming quite successful thanks to its $150-plus drunk-gaming tables. The company was founded by two Penn State grads who, according to the WSJ, estimate that they’ll do $1 million in revenue this year.
And Bing Bong isn’t just about the tables. No, it also offers official Bing Bong Beer Pong balls, T-shirts, bumperstickers and hoodies, and hosts official Bing Bong tournaments across the country. Currently, their seven-foot tables are out of stock on their website, and the answering machine at Bing Bong headquarters in Philly states that CEO Tom Schmidt’s inbox is full.
Obviously, Bing Bong fever is sweeping the nation. Catch it now and worry about your liver later.

actually, the tables are all priced below $150 - except for custom tables.
